For the Geeks

Dotster customer reviews (10)

Dotster are horrid. They have almost destroyed my business. They changed the NS server pointing on my registration and pointed my websites to offensive adverts about incontinence. Despite the fact that the link on these highly offensive pages was to domains.com their parent company they refused to acknowledge the issue was to do with them.
They had these adverts on my sites despite the fact that my registration was paid up , in one case 5 years in advance.
Transferring from them was a nightmare and again they made it as difficult as possible to do a simple migration to a more efficient registrar.
I have been with dotster for 10 years, and now their quality of service is a disgrace. If you value your business at all do not use them. Tech support is poor and they simply lie even when I had auto emails from them proving that they were holding up my transfer. I will never ever recommend them again. They are absolutely useless hosts, and if I could give them zero stars I definitely would.

Dotster wrote off my card money without my consent
Dotster have withdrawn from me money for service which I didn't order.
$17.49. Card **** 0530
I renew domain names at the price about $8.59. But not $17.49.
I didn't read the letter which Dotster sent
1. I did not subscribe to Dotsterr newsletter
2. I did not open spam
I didn't buy service
I don't need service
I didn't confirm payment
This is a huge non-respect for the user.
I asked about a personal discount, which compensates me for the costs. For example, I could be given a discount to renew the domain. But nothing was given to me.
This is a huge non-respect for the user again.

In the last few weeks, Dotster have managed to permanently lose my domain name, charge me for services I've cancelled, and continue to promise to call back with a resolution. I'm still waiting. Unbelievably awful customer service; go to ANY other company for your web needs.

Lost several thousand dollars worth of business due to emails that simply disappeared on their way to Dotster's email servers. The support team acted like there was nothing wrong on their part, but it continued to happen, and at this point I just don't trust them at all. Now in the process of switching to another email host after the third time this has happened.

As a business owner, I pass along the good as a rule. This time I am passing along the poor service received by Dotster.com. My website has been down for about two weeks. I am still waiting to hear what is going on with my domain name which is why the website cannot be published. I have explained and called and texted and e chatted with customer service at this domain site and they tell me that I am a priority. If I am a priority, I'd hate to see how they treat their other customers. Please take note of this company and be careful if you decide to build a website who you purchase your domain name from.

I heartily would NOT RECOMMEND Dotster as a host.
I have been a customer since 2008, and after having been through a bunch of other poor hosts, was relieved that I never, ever had issues with Dotsterhost, which has recently changed, and was only aware of my sites being down once for a short period in the entire time I was a hosted there.
I have purchase more than 3 dozen domains through Dotster, and have advised my clients since 2008 to use Dotster (formerly Dotsterhost). I design sites, am an IT professional, and can follow instructions and procedures.
In other words, I know that of which I speak. And do.
It is Saturday night. I should be ENJOYING myself. Instead, I am scrambling to figure out what the hell is wrong with these people, and RANTING MAD.
As I have to keep this rant to 1000 characters, read the other reviews, WHAT THEY SAID. My frustration level is THROUGH THE ROOF.
You know, you've been there. If you haven't, and dont want to GO there, then DO NOT USE DOTSTER.

I was automatically transferred to Dotster when they bought
my former registrar NameZero.
After a while I suddenly realized emails where no longer
getting through any of my domains. Dotster provided no
previous warning and the support on the issue was non-
existent.
I'm now trying to move away from this joke of a company.
Problem is, i have whois-privacy enabled since the time with
NameZero and now I can't update the contact details myself,
so i'm waiting for Dotster support to take care of it.
It's been several weeks, calls, emails, tweets and support
tickets - still nothing!
I don't wish my worst enemy this hell that is being stuck with
the non-existent support of Dotster.
Please be adviced - stay away from these clowns, they're the
worst in the business - all categories!

No customer support, false advertise, hidden
fees everywhere, confusing interface.
To see explanation of the above, please read
on.
I bought sdmd.org at Dotster. In there
hosting plan, they say UNLIMITED storage and
bandwidth. But once i found out they
give me only 1 MB of bandwidth per month and 1
MB of storage. And i have to pay extra monthly
money to increase those.
There is no database for my account, at first
i
thought it was the confusing interface. Turn
out
i had to pay monthly for each database. Same
for
email.
Once i buy an extra 1 GB storage or a database
or anything, i have to pay monthly for them
and there is no way to cancel the recurring
payment. If i don't pay, my whole website is
shutdown, not just the extra services. I
submitted a ticket to cancel the extra
services,
and the ticket stays there forever while the
payments keep recurring. There is no customer
support at all.
Also there is no action on my account cancel
ticket yet.
So, AVOID DOTSTER

I am disappointed with Dotster since they
unexpectedly changed terms and conditions and
closed me access to my files. Moreover, their
customer service never replies my E-mails.
Before they discontinued the service everything
was very slow and did not work well.
I lost my files and Dotster guys are the only
ones whom I can blame for it.

I have watched Godaddy degrade considerable since signing up with them. There tech support is failing and they only have a few to begin with. You can only use online chat and have to deal with someone that is just passing on info and has no technical experience to help you with you issue.
I am currently looking for a new hosting company and will never go back to godaddy.. Abandon the ship !!!
